The purpose of this research is to find a new perspective on how to worship virtually, especially at the Toraja Church. How is the solemnity/reverence of the people in worship and do the people encounter God's presence in online worship? and what is the new model of worship and how is the ecclesiology of the church in a new culture. This research uses qualitative methods in the form of interviews and studies from experts as well as studies of various scientific writings in the fields of technological and cultural change, the digital world and the impact of virtual worship on the image of God. The results of this study indicate that the new culture of convergence brings changes in worship from centralization to decentralization.Abstrak: Penelitian ini didasarkan pada realitas perkembangan budaya digital yang memunculkan budaya baru dalam cara beribadah yakni ibadah virtual.
